jt24 Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 I was wondering if anyone had some info on what type of line is good for making your own walleye leaders? I would prefer something that really has no memory and is hard for walleyes to see but dependable. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GullGuide Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 Go with Vanish florocarbon. Just make sure to wet the knots before you cinch them.------------------>"////=<Gull Guide Servicefishingminnesota.com/gullguideBrainerd-Mille Lacs-WillmarBemidji-Ottertail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 11, 2002 Share Posted March 11, 2002 I will Second that!! Vanish works great. Personally I have never wet a knot or done any of the things they say to do. I have not had a problem yet.ScottS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 well let me see if i can add some confoosion here.as with any knot in fishing line you need to make sure the line is wet before cinching it tight.as for line...last year i started fishing with ultra lights. wanted a limp/strong line. we started with trilene XL. well it let us down 1 too many times. so we went into cabelas looking and asking and finding.we were directed towards Damyl Tectan premium line. it did the trick for us on our ultra lights so we spooled everything with it.small diameter strong and rated similar to the spiderwire and firewire. where a small diameter line has the strength of heavier line.have not looked back since.just my choice.Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 jt24,I've been using trilene for 20 years 6 lb its nice and limp and and plenty strong. Ive tried some of the new lines and none compare in my book, especialy for lindy rigging. just my 2 centsJason------------------fishing fever guide servicefishingminnesota.com/fishingfever/phone 218-327-2191e-mail [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
